becomes my painful duty TO inform you Of the
death Of one OF your number. Joe j.. Dyer. OF
Ahitesburg, East Tenn Is no more. He was the
son Of : NJ. and NJ. V. Dyer, Of the same place
The writer OF this note knew Joe as "A neighbor "A
student and a srhOoimate aud can truihfuly saw
that u ever There lived man over whose grave lac
would pronounce an eulogy. il Is over the grave of
Joe Dyer. Just three years ago he left home Ia
company with the writer 10 become a student OF
Carson College. But alas that dread disease CON
sumption, had seized the vitals Of his young life
and forbade his remaining here la a few weeks he
returned home, never 10 he well again. After that
time he was never able TO do more than sit around
the family hearihsione and be company for q low
ing devoted mother, and 20 amuse the younger
! children aud give them advice as 10 living and
being good children. For more than year he was
not able 10 leave his room unaccompanied and
assisted.
/ From an early age Joe was n Christian by pro-
LESSON and practice, and during all his Rilction he
was cheerful as was one of his characteristics. He
was not known 90 utter one harsh or III word TO
those attending him. Parents aud friends did all
/ they could 20 make his few remaining days COM
Portable. His wants were administered 10 hourly;
everything 10 sOoihe his sorrow alleviate his
pain was done. No more his friends do for
hmi no more administer 10 his wants; more
alleviate his pains but, praise his Saviors name,
there are 10 him no more wants no more sorrows
NO more pains. Just before his death his suffer
lngs were 40 great that his prayer To go, TO be
4 relieved. The poet has truthfully said: "'Tis
hose axrs1 VI
how much more expressive The words Of the divine
writer who has said, Blessed are the dead that
die IN the Lord" Aud Of these Joe was one Those
OF Joe's friends and correspondents who wish 10
know more OF him or 10 communicate ia any way,
